Spock's Whoppers

[Ssosmcin]

Agreed: "In some ways he was reminiscent of my father" is a long way from "hey he looks like my dad!"

Spock should have said that about the Romulan Commander in Balance of Terror.

How is it we’ve gotten this far without anyone photoshopping Spock at Burger King?

It would have to be with an Impossible Whopper

But getting back to McDonalds, I fail to understand why I should induce my mother to purchase two all beef patties, ketchup sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickled onions on a sesame seed bun.

What the heck are you talking about?



PS: you don’t even have the lyrics to the jingle right.

The Whopper was sold at Burger King, not McDonald's.

This is getting a little heated. I don't see where's the beef...

The you DO know WTHIATA, but you fail to understand the I, MUDD burgerization. Before your time?

Speak plainly and clearly, instead of in cryptic nonsense.

You're the hero we need right now, not the gyro we deserve.

Not quite the usual whopper, though given the length of the scene it sorta is... but in "Tomorrow is Yesterday":

SPOCK: Captain, this type of aircraft might be too fragile to take our tractor beam.
SCOTT [OC]: Tractor beam on, sir. We have the target.
(The bright light of the tractor beam forces Captain Christopher to lower his visor)
SPOCK: Aircraft is breaking up, Captain.
KIRK; Transporter room. Can you lock onto the cockpit of that aircraft?
KYLE: Scanning area, sir.
KIRK: Try and beam that pilot aboard. Take over, Mister Spock.
(From his seated position strapped into his fighter, Captain Christopher is beamed aboard standing up.)
KIRK: Welcome aboard the Enterprise.
CHRISTOPHER: You speak English.
KIRK: That's right. You can step off the transporter
CHRISTOPHER: Captain John Christopher, United States Air Force. Serial number 4857932.
KIRK: Relax, Captain, you're among friends. I'm Captain James T. Kirk.
CHRISTOPHER: What's going on here? Where am I? What happened? You people, who are you?
KIRK: All in good time, Captain. Meanwhile, let me apologise for bringing you aboard the ship so abruptly, but it couldn't be helped. I didn't know that your craft couldn't stand up to our tractor beam.
CHRISTOPHER: Don't give me any double-talk. Just tell me who you are.
KIRK: We'll tell you what we decide to tell you in a few moments. In the meantime, relax. You're our guest. I have a feeling you'll find it interesting.
SPOCK [OC]: Bridge to Captain Kirk.
KIRK: Kirk here. What is it, Mister Spock?
SPOCK [OC]: The aircraft has completely broken up, Captain. Shall we turn off the tractor beam?
KIRK: Affirmative. We have the pilot aboard. I'll be right up. Kirk out. Follow me.

Kirk the know-all-do-all micromanager is at it again. I'm amazed he didn't snap at Spock (in the way he did at McCoy in "The Man Trap") over either his boring expositiondump to Kirk over projectiles possibly being nukes cause you know Kirk's bottling it to keep Spock's (no such thing as) pride up, and/or having to ask to turn off the bloody beam since it's projecting its beam into empty-space-until-a-hapless-buzzard-flies-by... ouch!

1:18-3:18 is the time frame in which that tractor beam is running like a bunny-sponsored battery... a whole 4%, or just under a twentieth of an episode...

I......sometimes.......expect.......too much......of you.
Pickled/pickles. Let's call the whole thing off.

Okay, that is quite enough of these off-topic, nonsense posts.

The next time you do this, you’ll get a formal warning for spamming.

Moving on.

We have been making hamburger joint jokes... Whopper = Burger Kings famous burger. Then we played around with McDonald's, and I threw in an 80s Wendy's joke that I think people missed.

Not spam... just some silliness based on. The title.

The "problem" with this is that at least one of those infinite dimensional variants has all the chief protagonists surviving each and every one of the deadly challenges they face. The show we watch is more likely one of those. even if the creators don't realize they're showing the adventures of the same variant each week.

I diagree. You can go "infinite" while still having possibilities excluded. Just because the umbrella "infinite" includes variations that will literally never end, it does not necessarily include all variations. just endless ones.

By definition, endless variations include all variations. They are, after all, endless.

I really don't see it that way. I'm reminded of the old joke that an infinite number of chimps banging randomly on an infinite number of typewriters, for eternity, will at some point turn out the complete works of Shakespeare.

Of course they wouldn't. I'd say that just because something is endless does not mean it will do everything.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

But others did eventually Shakespearize the four AVENGERS film scripts just as they earlier did with the STAR WARs trilogy. If that's a digression, so be it. You can buy both now.

Others? You mean other chimps?
